Medved und Partner OG

What Medved und Partner OG does

Medved und Partner OG is an Austrian general partnership (Offene Gesellschaft, FN 524767 t) headquartered at Trappelgasse 4/17 in Vienna, founded in 2013 by Dr. Karin Medved and operating primarily in Austria, Liechtenstein, and Southern Germany. The firm provides specialized human resources and consulting services to the legal sector, organized into three service lines: People Consulting / Recruiting (executive search and placement for law firms, legal departments, and HR positions), Business Consulting (HR strategy, career path design, HR development, evaluation, reward systems, and HR controlling for legal organizations), and Coaching & Training (career coaching, management coaching, business plan coaching, recruiting training, and communication/conflict management training).

The firm's core competitive positioning rests on deep, partner-led domain expertise. Dr. Karin Medved previously served as Director of HR at Schönherr Rechtsanwälte from 2003 to 2013, and Mag. Christine Eder, MSc joined as a consultant in 2018 before becoming partner in 2020, bringing an MSc in Coaching, Organisations- und Personalentwicklung and a law degree (Mag. iur.). Beyond core services, the firm operates the LEXAMO sub-brand offering structured preparation for the Austrian bar exam (RAP), including a roadmap product, learning coaching, and presentation workshops targeting individual law graduates. The firm has also authored the Recruiting-Kompass (Recruiting Compass), a published guide for personnel search decisions distributed through LexisNexis Austria.

Revenue mechanics are entirely fee-based professional services: recruiting engagements typically operate on placement-fee models while consulting and coaching engagements are customized and not publicly priced. The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on professional networks, referrals, and direct relationships. Marketing channels include a company website, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram profiles, the MP Insights content blog, and an email newsletter. There is no proprietary technology platform, no app, no API, and no disclosed AI capabilities. The firm has no external investors, no subsidiaries, and operates as a private partnership with three managing partners.

Broad incumbents

• Odgers Berndtson:
• Heidrick & Struggles: Global executive search and leadership advisory firm with a dedicated Legal, Risk, Regulatory & Compliance practice. Comparable to Medved & Partner at the partner-level executive search tier for law firms and corporate legal departments in the DACH market.
• Egon Zehnder: Global executive search and leadership advisory firm with active legal-sector and HR consulting practices across DACH. Competes for senior legal and HR leadership mandates similar to Medved & Partner's executive-search offering.
• Robert Walters: International specialist professional recruitment firm with a legal-sector division active in Austria and Germany. Overlaps with Medved & Partner on legal recruiting and HR consulting, though Robert Walters serves broader professional functions.
• PageGroup (Michael Page / Page Personnel): Global professional recruitment group with dedicated legal-sector practice covering Austria and Germany. Competes with Medved & Partner on legal recruiting mandates in the same geography but operates a high-volume generalist model rather than a boutique.
• Kienbaum Consultants International: German-headquartered executive search and HR consulting firm with deep DACH presence across multiple functions including legal-sector hiring. Comparable to Medved & Partner on the HR consulting and executive search axis but vastly larger and multi-sector rather than legal-niche.

Direct peers

• Major, Lindsey & Africa: Global legal-focused executive search firm (Hogan Lovells affiliate historically) specializing in partner-level and senior legal placements. Directly comparable to Medved & Partner's law-firm partner-placement focus.
• Taylor Root: International legal-sector specialist recruiter (part of MPHR Group) focused exclusively on placing lawyers, legal risk and compliance professionals. Closest pure-play analogue to Medved & Partner's legal-direct-hire core service.
